@katkastrofa: *writes a single throwaway line in one chapter of Lost and Found that is never referenced again*
Tumblr media
Me, completely randomly and with no prompting: Alright, bet–
Tumblr media
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#original characters#as if I don’t have enough of those already#I really don’t know what possessed me here. I mean. sometimes my mind did drift to this mention of Zaheer’s sisters#because broken bonds is my absolute favourite LaF chapter. but I ever really thought of them that much since Kat never brought them up agai#and then about 24h ago I randomly remembered them again and was like. hey. p’li and ghazan’s sisters play a huge role in our stories#and ming-hua is an only child. so what of zaheer’s sisters? what are they like? do they ever cross his mind? are they aware of his crimes?#and in the afternoon I went digging through my art supplies bc I felt like painting and found my old 2020-2022 sketchbook with 2 empty page#so I thought. why not. it’s been a while since I’ve done traditional art. so I pulled up a reference of rich EK outfits from the artbooks#and got to work. drew this up in about half an hour? traditional sketching is a lot faster than digital for some reason#then took a picture and cleaned up and coloured in procreate. and I’m really happy with the end result#this was hella fun to do as well so.. win-win?#alright enough backstory rambling. on to the characters themselves#I looked up Zaheer’s name and apparently that particular spelling is urdu in origin. so I went off that#the article I found was written edited and fact checked by three pakistani women so I think it’s about as trustworthy as these things go#summiya means ‘a woman of proper name’ and aiza means ‘respected high place in society’. which I thought were fitting for noble girls#for outfits and hairstyles. like I said. I turned to the avatar artbooks. those things are life savers. I just played around with colours#looks wise I colour picked from zaheer and then shifted around a little so they look similar enough yet not like clones of each other#but they’re also teenagers here so they wouldn’t resemble book 3 Zaheer much anyway#kat never mentioned ages but since their mother was looking for matches I assumed they were older than zaheer#he ran off at 11 or 12 iirc. so I decided they would have been 16 and 14 respectively#though in their community matches are probably made much earlier than actual marrying age. still.#if it was such a pressing matter that their mother was ‘preoccupied’ with it. then they were probably teenagers right#that’s what I’m gonna go for anyway since currently I have no information to disprove any of this#oh yeah Kat btw if you did have images of Zaheer’s sisters in mind before this then you don’t have to replace them. I just filled a blank#we’ve never talked about them so I assume there’s nothing. feel free to correct me. maybe someday we’ll discuss their personalities/lives#all I have is that they probably weren’t too close with zaheer. and their lives now are all about husbands kids and status. but we’ll see#hope you like them anyways <3

Actually I lied I’m just gonna do separate posts cause I’m impatient, one composite one now and then the rest (including the normal form ref, Traitor Magolor/EX, hopefully Epilogue final boss fight and maaaaaybe Manager/Shoppekeeper Magolor) later when they’re done, which will be after the legs are all finished. Anyway here’s Magolor
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, you may be thinking: “Hey Kit, did you make our catboy a bird?” To which I say, “Read my 1.8k word essay from last week.” Albeit I don’t think canon Magolor is an actual Doomer, I just thought it would be fun; plays nicely with the wings + talons imagery of the crown, and I wasn’t sure about giving him full-on cat ears anyway (Also. Egg). I’m also weirdly committed to both staying relatively on-model and having fairly realistic continuity and am proud of how well I managed to do on those with stuff like the sleeves having the same markings as the ears of the hood so they can stand in for them in 2nd phase after the cloak gets its closure broken and falls off. Also btw the leg prosthetics (I commissioned a friend who draws mecha to design better ones than I could lol) are held together & operated by magic that Mags is always running in the background so they fall apart in 2nd phase once he’s no longer controlling his own magic. Ok that’s probably enough non-tag rambling; hasta luego!
#art#digital#kirby#magolor#kirby gijinka#sketchbook#body horror#blood#minor but it’s there in 2nd phase/soul form though if you’ve seen Magolor Soul it’s not that surprising#loosely inspired by a lot of Magolor gijinkas I’ve seen on tumblr but I can specifically call out nyaagolor and otaku553 for the hair#also something-sacriou for the pants which I did not end up using for logistical reasons#namely I felt like adding the tail (just one lol) and I was like well he keeps it under his clothes usually but#pants would be trickier for that and it would look weird just hanging out of one pant leg plus they’ll look weird without legs in em#so skirt time#hand on a bible in front of a court of law I swear I didn’t make him super feminine on purpose this time! This just happens to me!! lol#oh btw his thigh stumps are actually shorter than they look here I just drew these before that was decided (more space for the joints)#and don’t feel like editing these again#also as stated yesterday I’m not super happy with these artistically but I shrimply have got to draw. I got bit by the art bug#plus I fixed my brush settings somewhat for the one I’m working on currently so that’s good though I’d still like to experiment more#I’m just really inflexible and not really willing to put in a ton of extra brainpower rn#oh and I know the gold/silver hair presents a contrast issue but I like it conceptually so w/e#AGH I forgot alt text!! it’s there now though I hope it’s ok

(sorry if someone has asked this before) when did you start drawing? :3
(warning: after reading your question I felt nostalgic and accidentally made a long-ass post about my whole art journey) As every kid I’ve been drawing from the very childhood, but everything became more serious when I started to attend local art classes in 2006 when I was 10y.o. I’ve been attending them for 7 years and here are drawings from the middle of that period when I was ~14y.o.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After graduation in 2013 I drew this and that occasionally but nothing serious, just doodling in sketchbooks during boring classes.
Tumblr media
Around 2016 something happened with me: I discovered a lot of new art creators and bloggers, they had a huuuge influence on me, so after ~3 years of kinda artblock I finally felt a desire to create and started drawing like crazy. I could fill a whole sketchbook within a month, and is wasn’t just mindless doodling, I put effort in each page, imitating those art bloggers with pretty sketchbooks.
Tumblr media
Then I started to learn how to draw digitally and it took me months to find normal brush and make something bearable.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then around 2017-2018 I created my first art blog, in 2019 I started making merch and then in 2021 I quit my job and became self employed artist!
my first (2019) vs last (2023) artist alley

Soooooo it’s been 18 years!

ARTIST OF THE WEEK @merryfinches ♥️
This week's aotw is Kylie who has bewitched us body and soul with her lovely art and even lovelier personality. Always there with a kind word, just all round a stellar human being, and someone who makes my day better anytime I see her on the dash. She was also game for answering a few questions:
Which do you use to draw (app/digital or traditional)?
I use Procreate on my iPad! I like being able to put it on my bag and draw anywhere - I don’t have as much time to draw as I want, so I do it in bits and pieces whenever I get the chance.
I love sketching with coloured pencils in my sketchbook too, I LOVE digital art, but there’s nothing like the texture of pencil and paper!
Fave brushes/pencils/mediums (links/screenshot?)
These are the ones I use most. The top 3 are all standard Procreate brushes. Chalk is my go-to for sketching and line art, and lightbrush and lightpen for highlights. I used Gingerbread Inker for colouring - it’s a free brush I picked up from somewhere, but I can’t find where!
Tumblr media
Your favourite piece you've drawn?
Oooooooh, I don’t know! It’s easy to look back at basically every drawing and see the flaws, but this one of Ed and Stede in their inn is special to me, because I think it’s the first time I felt like I’d developed a comfortable style after messing around trying to draw them for months with… varying degrees of success.
And I’m really proud of the comic I drew of Ed having a nightmare, because i find comics so hard to draw and I’m in awe of everyone who does it!
Who's harder to draw: Ed or Stede?
Aaaaah, they both have challenges, but Stede I think? I prefer drawing his left side because of the way his hair swishes differently on both sides, and that side is easier. And he has a very particularly-shaped nose that can be really hard sometimes! Unless I’m drawing Ed’s leathers, in which case it’s him 😆
One essential tip for beginner artists?
There will be a point where you look at all your art so far and think “oh these are terrible, what am I even doing?” But that’s GOOD because it means you’re improving! And I’m sorry but that never stops - you will be improving forever! Nobody I know is ever really satisfied with their own art, and your art style is like your handwriting - it’s unique to you.
Also, get a sketchbook and a pencil, make mistakes, practice drawing your own hands and feet, screenshots, your cat, anything basically. And remember it’s supposed to be fun 🥰
Why OFMD? 🥹
Because it’s the fucking BEST! 😎
No seriously, I guess I like drawing Ed and Stede so much because they’re everything. Love, sex, tenderness, fun, cuteness, heartache and joy. Two souls who are so insecure and alone, and then they have someone who GETS them, who loves everything about them. They’re just wonderful.

First Molluck Artbook Finished
100 pages of Molluck! Frankly, I filled that sketchbook sooner than I thought, in 10 months, since I haven't filled them this fast like ever, and these are mainly rendered works... And I haven't even drawn all my traditional Molluck sketches from this year to this book. So yeah, I have been drawing a lot more this year than I have drawn during the past years... Thanks to this, I feel like I have improved significantly this year.
But yeah, I felt like doing some flip through the artbook, especially when I have never done a video like this before. Couldn't get a better quality, and yeah, I did improve the quality by editing, but you can find these all on my blog anyway. I cut the video like this because I didn't wanna have my hand visible here... (I feel like I cannot stand seeing myself in any image, even if it was just my hand... I can tolerate drawing(s of) myself more.) But you can see the main stuff.
As you might notice, the artbook kinda lost its "original vision" quite soon... This was supposed to be like a book about Molluck, but then, I just drew whatever I felt like, just like I'm used to do... But this is still a Molluck artbook, and it's the main thing! Since this whole thing was finished successfully, I wanted the last page depict why or how this whole this was made:
Tumblr media
It's not the first time you see me hugging Molluck, but this one is certainly an improved version. Man, this sketchbook wouldn't have been finished if I didn't love this Gluk so much... This just felt like the most meaningful way to end this book since it was made with my love for Molluck. I just feel like I cannot even describe how much I love him... He just means so much to me... I have still felt quite awful recently, but Molluck has been able to snap me out of thinking those harmful things.
And yeah, I also felt like showing you all my main tools I used to draw those Molluck things. I just tend to use a 0.7 HB mechanical pencil, that eraser stick thing, and an eraser pencil; this is also the reason why I call these sketches. Oh, and yeah, there's also my brown leather pencil case I ordered with my Oddworld merch from Gametee. (Y)
Here's some "artist's picks" from the book:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Frankly, if I had to choose only one drawing from the book, I would choose that "Glukkons' plan" drawing. It would be "cool" to make a proper artwork out of it, like a digital painting or something. It would require tons of work though, but I bet that it would be worth it. Gotta get that drawing tablet first though since I'm not gonna draw that with a mouse...
I'm still not done with photos here, since I also felt like taking a photo like this:
Tumblr media
Yeah, just some of my Molluck 'n' Molluck-like stuff. (Y) I bough that hard work sign some months ago and just because it reminded me of Molluck... There's literally "hard work never killed anyone" text in RuptureFarms, though the tone is different than in this one. But even this sign is questioning it, it's only wondering why to work hard, and the answer could still be "moolah" or something. Oh, and I also got two old cigar tin boxes because of Molluck... They decorate my kitchen with that RuptureFarms sign. (Y) And yeah, I also got one bolo tie, and it was before my Molluck thing.
I have already bought like a half year ago few new sketchbooks, so all I need to do is to start yet another one. (Y) Though, I have bough that many also because I felt like dedicating them for certain stuff, like one being for general Molluck stuff and another one would be about my self-insert Molluck stuff. I have really wanted to have one sketchbook just for my self-insert stuff, but I wanted to finish this one first. Naturally, I'm not really going to share my self-insert things, also because well, for not being suitable for Tumblr sometimes... But just some quite "neutral" ones, like that hug. Though, I'm still not sure... If I'm going to post more self-insert stuff, I would like to have another blog for that. I don't even know if you would be interested seeing my drawings related my self-insert story with Molluck, but you can let me know.
Man, it's so odd to think that I have been loving this Gluk for like 3½ years, and I only feel like I love him more and more day by day... It's kinda sad too since he is fictional, but luckily, there's tech and I'm an evil (computer) scientist. (Y) (I tend to make this joke regularly...) But my point was that there do are ways to cope with this craving. Frankly, I have also been wondering if my feelings toward Molluck are this strong because it's my brain's way to keep me alive... Since I can feel like he loves me and he kinda lives inside my head, tells me positive things whenever I feel like I'm just doomed... I don't hear his voice but get thoughts "thru him". Whatever it is, I'm grateful for my Molluck experiences since he just feels so right for me and I feel so much love... This is like the first time I ever feel like someone loves me, instead of only knowing that I'm loved. I have felt like I'm broken because I cannot feel my feel my family's love, only know that they love me, but it's not my fault that I have problems with that.
I don't know what else to say but I'm glad to see that people appreciate my dedication to Molluck! So, as a lil bonus, I feel like sharing one song that, for some reason, has like Molluck vibe the most from all the songs I know: HELIUM VOLA- omnis mundi creatura. I feel like I'm not even able to explain this, but music like this just fits Molluck so well... I wanna draw/paint something one day that encapsulates this vibe. I'm not really referring to the lyrics of the song but the general vibe or whatever you would call that.
But yeah, only one Molluck sketchbook completed, gotta keep drawing!

Idk if this means anything to you but I'm a comic artist who's had a hard time doing art for a few years. The first four was because of life hardship and lack of time/chronic pain, but now lately I've had time but a mental block. I'm creeping up on 30 and felt bad about myself for "missing out" on my opportunity to be a comic artist. It was really validating to see you post about being 41 (correct me if I'm wrong) especially since you have such wonderful comics that I've been following for a while now. It makes me feel less like I'm wasting my time putting my things in order when I "should" be drawing.
Hopefully this doesn't come across as offensive or anything. It was just comforting and validating. Anyway, big fan! Love your characters a whole lot and hope you have a good day!
Dear Anon
I am 41 years old. I have wanted to make comics my entire life. before my dad got sick, and my childhood kinda fell apart, all i did was draw. after that, i used the stories in my head to cope. life moved on. i was convinced not to accept a partial scholarship to an art school in California. life got hard. i worked at a hotel, and after i escaped an abusive relationship at 22 i hitchhiked/bused far far away to start over. i tried to make comics again, but i had to survive, and so i got another job doing the only thing i knew how to do, hotels. and i worked. and worked. and life got harder and times got heavier and i didn't get time to draw and i worked double hours, 15 to 17 hours a day. and i went four years without drawing a single thing.
i kept working myself into the ground. i was 29 now. i picked up a pen again and drew a red haired boy. he had a hard life and no love and no friends. his problems were on the outside, for everyone to see. he ran away but his problems went with him.
i was 32. surely i was too old now. my time to be an artist was gone. i had no school. no hope. i was so far behind the younger gen i saw online. i cried. all the time. i wrote stories in my email drafts while i worked shifts. i stayed up late trying to learn how to draw again. i cried some more. the boy grew. i called him Fiach. worthy. a raven. later i renamed him Avery. he was like a bird, he had wings, he was my hope. i started writing some friends for him. the people i wished i had around me.
i started finding time and space. i got a new job, something where i was lucky enough to set my own hours. for the first time i had a partner who believed in me. things were hard. but i was drawing now. and that helped.
i went on a road trip and i started drawing pages of an unnamed story on 6 by 8 paper in a sketchbook. i drew 20 of them. 'what could i call this?' i thought. Nothing Seems as Dark...no says my partner. Seemingly Dark. he made me a logo. i was 35. i bought an ipad, i cant do this on paper, its too much story i have too much to say. so i learned how to draw digitally by tracing my own trad art pages.
I spoke to my dad for the last time on June 17th, fathers day that year. he said 'you're good. i'm proud. and you're gonna do amazing things. none of this is your fault. and we will speak again soon.' i didn't know id never hear his voice again. he died a week later.
i turned 36. i kept trying. i'm old, i don't understand the internet. how can i share this?
i stumbled across Lore Olympus. i was introduced to webcomics. id read comics online before but the thought never occurred to me. i opened an account on Tapas. and then i stared at it. what if no one likes it. what if its bad. my art isn't good. i should wait til i'm better. but will i ever really be better? or will i always believe that tomorrow is better? do it now. if even one person gets something out of this story, this story about a boy who is you, a boy who looking for hope, a boy who might make it, then that is enough isn't it.
June 17th 2018 i launched Seemingly Dark.
SD's five year anniversary is in a week. 0ver 700 pages. leaps and bounds in progress with my skills. a printed comic under my belt as of monday. i was always a storyteller. but i was always an artist too.
I am 41 years old, dear anon. I did not truly embark on this journey til i was 35. life got in the way. even now, chronic illness gets in the way. but its worth it. its never ever too late. i believe in you the way my dad believed in me. i reset my life again and again. but I was always an artist. and if thats who you are, and who you want to be, even if things dont go the way you wished they could, you're an artist too.
im 41 years old. i speak about my age, even though i often feel too old to belong in spaces, cuz really, in this case age is just a number. take care of yourself. do what you need to do. and little by little, when your able, carve out your space until it becomes more of a habit. sometimes i think about all the years i lost not drawing or creating. but there's a lot of factors that make me believe had i made my story then, it wouldn't be the story it is now, i needed to live a bit. i needed to find myself. i know this was long, but i just wanted you to see i also had to put my life in order, and getting notes like this reminds me it wasnt at all a waste. im glad i could offer you some comfort. thats honestly the best compliment i could ever receive.
TL;dR I was 35 when i sat down and seriously started making comics, because life always got in the way and so did my confidence. i always feared being too old. im 41 now, still going strong.

🌹🌊2024 TWST Redraws🌊🌹
-Just some redraws of 2 doodles I did in 2022.
2024
Tumblr media
2022
Tumblr media
-I love Floyd and this has always been on of my favorite doodles of him. I really like the Eel designs of him and Jade. Kinda wish they were used more.
2024
Tumblr media
2022
Tumblr media
-This doodle will always be funny to me. In my original sketch before I drew it digitally, Riddle didn’t look as angry but I changed it when I drew it digitally in 22 cause it felt more in character (I lost the sketchbook I drew it in so no comparison).
🌹🌊Why I like FloRiddle🌊🌹
-Bit of a long explanation, whoops.
-I know a lotta people don’t like FloRiddle. I’ve met a handful of fans in servers who even “ban” or “outlaw” it to be talked about. I don’t really get it, but everyone can have their opinions on it 🙂 I think it’s a silly ship. When I started playing TWST the first event I got to play was Ghost Marriage and at the same time I was starting the Octavinelle book. What got me was in the end of Ghost Marriage Floyd said to Riddle “You’re one powerful goldfishie.” And I didn’t realize he gave everyone nicknames, so this line stuck out to me. The way Floyd teases Riddle and in return him having a big reaction also reminds me of people who have crushes but don’t want to admit it/don’t know how to handle feelings well so overreact by being like “Actually I can’t stand you! You annoy me.” Probably not the intention of the game designers, it’s just how I see it.

☆Ema Skye☆
Today I finished what is my first proper digital drawing in almost a year! however it took a bit to get used to drawing digitally again, so I decided to do a simple Ema sketch in my sketchbook (just a pencil sketch with a mannequin body, nothing interesting), drew some cute clothes over it (in my mind adult Ema is very green and pink character and, I felt like drawing something gingham so the outfit concept evolved from that), than did the line art, colour and basic shading :D
But even though is is a very simple drawing I really like how it looks! And look forward to drawing more digitally, especially since I'd like to try and make fan comics but idk how long that take XD

A wild smiling ladybug appears! 🐞
Backstory to this drawing (TW: mental health):
16-Oct-2023 ◇ Two days after a bad panic attack, I just sat at my desk, opened an old sketchbook and drew Ladybug's profile and smiling face from memory. I'm not entirely sure why. It just felt like the right thing to do at that time. A couple of weeks later, I still liked the drawing, so I made a digital version with some simple flats. Full disclosure: I had to look where to put the spots (even fuller disclosure: I'm still not sure where to put all of them lol)
Anyway, there was (and still is) something very calming for me when looking at these characters. I guess that's what my brain tried to portray. I still like this unfinished piece and it brings me peace, so I thought I might as well share it.
Disclaimer: I'm sharing my art as fan work, with no commercial use or agenda. All credits for Miraculous' characters go to the original creators and trademark owners.

3, 19 and 28
3. your favorite piece(s)?
The easiest question of these three! It would be this 2 part set I did of Vanquish and Aywin based on Renaissance paintings. The Fallen Angel has always been a favorite of mine so I always had wanted to recapture it on my own!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A close runner up is probably this piece I did while fixating on Spiderverse
Tumblr media
19. where do you find inspiration?
Oh a lot of places! But I do think Digimon probably has the biggest style and design inspiration.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just like the way they design and articulate creatures and clothing. Both so fantastical but they never felt so impractical to me. Somethings a design was just to look cool, yes, but it never felt out of place.
If we're talking more so everyday I spoke, a lot of inspiration comes from music. A lot of my overall story or scene ideas come from listening to music and imagining something going with it. And my music can vary a lot ao there's no way I could narrow it down to just a few genres haha.
Another thing is weirdly enough is types of animated or indie/internet horror, whether it be video games, shows, or films. I'm always fascinated about how different people choose to take what most see as simple slasher films and turn it into such a niche thing. Movies such as Corpse Bride or the Secrwt of NIMH. Series such as Outlast, Fnaf, or point and click indie games like Franbow have shown a lot a different ways to play with horror and gore elements. Theres also analog horror, args, and creepypastas. All of which inspire me. Despite my want for happy endings and colorful palettes, I have a deep fascination on how a character can be scared or hurt and it's fun to play with that.
28. whats a piece you would like to redraw at some point?
Just about anything 2 years old at this point haha. But more real talk, I'll leave it more focused on my digital rt, despite it not being quite as old as a majority of my sketchbooks... it's when I got the most ambitious with full pieces.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It would be one of these two pieces. The one on the left was the first full drawing of Eddie Gluskin from Outlast that I drew, and despite everyone reblogging it at this point I can see all the things I would want to update and show my advancement of skills.
The second was when I was deep in my Biker!Eddie au and while I do still enjoy it, I would love to tackle more profile shots with better detail. And either just do a direct redraw or redraw it as Vanquish.
But woo! These were fun questions! Thank you 😊

So fun fact context; I decided to get myself a "Spicy sketchbook" for any more nsfw stuff if I ever feel like doodling that, thus avoiding the scenario of "I forgor I drew this on my main one and am showing something to my parents from it oh shit they saw that" happening potentially lol
Now this one isn't that risque, hence I felt okay posting it. It's mainly traditionally drawn and colored, with the only major thing done digitally being Basil's tanned skintone, because quite frankly I do NOT trust myself with trying to fully color in skin with these markers. (I've really messed up pieces trying to do so lmaooo OTL)
Since it's an AU where Basil (probably) isn't a werecat, he doesn't have his markings or sharp nails. Also I really like this hairstyle for Hayden, the main one might start sporting it too lol
Also I promise these two do more innocent/casual couple stuff as well, they just got picked for my nsfw experiment lmao

So on Tuesday I lost power for a long time, so one of my pastimes was doodling on my sketchbook. I decided to do some anatomy/pose practice at first (the top 2 pics, they were in 1 page). And after, I realized I barely? Drew any actual shippy art of these two, so I went with two wholesome ship arts of them~ Those just what I felt like drawing, the poses might be wonkier hahahah
Maybe I'll finish some of these in digi? Or trad? Idk, for now, here's all the doodly sketches~
Tumblr media
El martes estuve sin luz mucho rato, asi que una de las cosas que hice para pasar el rato fue bocetar en mi bloc de dibujo. Decidí hacer un poco de practica de anatomia/posturas primero (los dos primeros, estaban en 1 pagina). Después, me di cuenta que casi nunca? he dibujado arte ship de estas dos, asi que hice dos artes lindos ship de ellas~ Estos solo lo que me apetecia dibujar, asi que las poses estarán algo mas pochas hahahah
Quizá termine alguno de estos en digital? O tradicional? No se, por ahora aquí estan los sketches~

I'm planing to make some references for different races in my mlp human au as soon as I find a new sketchbook(I tried making 'em digital but I suck at drawing digital "bald bases" :-:)
SO for now I'd like to introduce you to my human Tirek design for he'll get his appearance in the next chapter!:D
Tumblr media
I'm kinda proud I finally drew him so perfectly🥹 In process I didn't like how he ended up looking. His shape was okay but I felt he was missing something.
But when I drew his pupils... man, he got so handsome o///-///o
Oh, btw, I found an old drawing of him and Discord(he looks so ugly there:"0)
Tumblr media
So I redrew it;)
Tumblr media
That's all:D
Have a nice day, my owlets!💖🌺

I’ll try my best, pls keep in mind that i’m not a professional or anything, I’m talking about my personal experiences. I hope I didn’t forget anything
(Edit: IM SO SORRY IT’S SO MUCH, I’ve been yapping for the past one and half an hour since 4AM ToT you don’t have to read everything ofc, I still hope that everything makes some sense 🥲)
I’ll put most of it under a cut :)
Painting apps:
I have always used procreate for my digital drawings, but there are many good cheap/ free alternatives.
Since our school uses IPads to work it installed “Sketchbook” on our devices, and even though you can’t use all of the pens without paying there should be more than enough for free (I’ve never used a digital pencil that has been so comfortable to draw with for example)
But my favorite is and will always be procreate
Time:
I’ve been drawing for a bit more than 6 years, and sometimes I’m still very insecure about most of my drawings, I mean that when I look at them I’m just not happy or I think it’s not good enough…
But I always keep in mind how freaking horrible, like for real horrendously bad my drawings were in 4th grade when I started, and then I’m pretty happy with how far I’ve come ^^
Just know that this feeling will probably always be there, no matter if you’re a beginner or a pro, idk it’s just from my perspective, everyone has their own experience.
Inspiration:
For me one of the most important/ helpful things is inspiration. I personally am often very energetic when it comes to drawing something that plopped up in my head, it just brings the fun, you know?
For me my biggest inspiration so far to draw is TMNT. And I mean it, I don’t just say that because I’m hyperfixated to them. Ever since I’ve discovered the turtles far more than a year ago, drawing has been the most fun thing in the world.
For me the turtles are incredibly fun to draw, there are so many possibilities since there are so many different versions of them, and four of them. I don’t think I could ever grow tired of drawing them, and I think nothing has ever improved my art as much as them since they are so much easier and fun to draw than humans (imo)
There was a time period that last until around three weeks ago where I didn’t really was in the tmnt fandom anymore, idk how that happened but I hope it will never happen again. Anyway, I was trying to draw in anime- style or something like that, and as far as I can remember it was really hard and for me not really fun/ felt forced. The turtles always look how they are supposed to look, but humans… nah —~—
What I want to say is that you should also find something that’s fun for you to draw and that fills you with inspiration and energy.
Quantity:
A tip from me: draw every day
(but include breaks when you need it)
Of course it’s not always possible, but since I heard that tip somewhere on YouTube (also a really good way to improve) a couple of years ago, I was never able to forget it. I mean I didn’t do it of course, but somehow it still helped… in a way…yk?
I mean there are always times where you don’t draw, maybe over weeks and even months during art block or other reasons, but the more often you draw, the better you become at it.
(Btw I personally believe it’s impossible to draw every day, for me at least. But i don’t know, that sentence never left my mind and I think there has to be some reason for it)
People:
It can be really helpful to have people you look up to, especially in the beginning, for example was I a really big fan of Skottie Young (still am) and that guy who drew some of the TMNT idw comics (forgot his name rn), and trying to draw somewhat like them for practice really helped me to get better. It also can be good to have people around you that are artists. Can be
And now something somewhat more complicated:
Be careful about the people you are surrounded with, because according to what kind of person you are, they can really, really make you feel shitty about how you draw, or maybe bring you to a point where you don’t feel joy when drawing at all
Here’s what I mean:
For example take me. I don’t know how many people feel this way, but I’m for some unexplainable reason completely “allergic” to criticism. I know it’s not a good thing, but I also know it’s not really my fault.
Every time I’m drawing something, I just want to have fun with it, and for me it’s the most important thing when I draw. And having people around me all the way that have studied drawing, criticizing my work and telling me what’s wrong, maybe even make fun of it it something I really, really can’t live with. Of course it can be a really good thing to take those criticisms, but for me it was/is just annoying, like REALLY annoying.
For a long time I couldn’t really draw anymore when someone of that people was sitting next to me, and there have been quite a few of them. It completely took the joy of drawing away from me, no one should let that happen to them. (Luckily it’s better now)
Idk if that what I intended to say was said… 🤷‍♀️
One last, the most important thing:
Always have fun with and enjoy drawing <3
Good day/night/or whatever 💜💜💜
